Yes, they have plenty of money to throw around. We are all guilty of their sins, to the extent that we have used energy made in Muslim countries to run our cars etc. There ought to be a movement to boycott energy from the region, so that these savages return to their original desert goat raising occupations and stop messing up the world. After all, we do prefer ‘fairtrade’ bananas or mangoes, or ‘stewardship’ fish or wood, etc. – so why not look at the source and consequences of fuel?

The problem is that the same groups who push the fair trade coffee and fruit are also the ones leading the campaign against north American sources of oil. Very suspicious.

Yes, it is bizarre – logically. But not so much, when you consider that many of these people are left orientated. This means that they have a blind-spot when it comes to the mid-east and Islam. It still remains true that it is we in the West who have enriched the Arabs and are to blame. Of course, Japan and China are big customers too nowadays.

Leave the Muslim Brotherhood to play with their own balls!

Not to mention over 1,000 dead in Qatar from immigrant workers through industrial accidents. The whole world of soccer stinks of corruption. They haven’t even gotten to the game fixing and gambling scandals yet.

Well Sepp did what he had to do. The vote on Israel was withdrawn and he overruled the amendment to refer the matter to the U.N. He won the election against Prince Ali (Fabulous he, Al Ababwa) who ran a campaign on transparency and fighting endemic corruption. Job done Sepp can now retire and live out the rest of his ill-gotten days.

This FIFA debacle demonstrates that any contact with America puts you at risk of U.S. law. In addition, U.S. law has a strange understanding of conspiracy. In Canada you need to agree to the conspiracy and either help initiate or recruit members. In other words you need to commit an overt act to help the conspiracy. In the U.S all they need to prosecute you is to have someone finger you and declare that you agreed to a general intent to commit a crime. No actual crime is required.

Obviously, conspiracy is very dangerous in the U.S. for they do not need to prove you did anything. The fact that they chose not to charge slimey Sepp is very telling in and of itself.
